Github Applications exist for that. It's basically a bot you specifically opt into.

The main issue is one of discovery.

Though I imagine you could build an application to notify users of new fixer applications. Maintainers would opt into that for their accounts/repositories, it would then match repositories & applications submitted to it and ping submitters when an application looks… applicable.

> Github would then run the service nightly themselves. Developers could opt-out of the service if they wanted.

It would be just as bad as TFA's.
